Since winning her maiden WWE NXT Women’s Title, Becky Lynch has certainly proved to be a fighting champion and that status isn’t changing, anytime soon. With injuries and all, she is constantly putting her title on the line on Raw and NXT. That trend will continue, next week when she allows another emerging talent from the Raw Women’s Division to come after her championship.
During the season premiere of Monday Night Raw, WWE booked a few matches for next week and the booking began with Drew McIntyre competing against Sami Zayn. This will allow the Scottish Warrior to gain some momentum en route to his title match opportunity against Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel.

Becky Lynch vs. Indi Hartwell set for next week’s Raw
Another big match set for Raw will be Becky Lynch defending her NXT Women’s Championship against Indi Hartwell, next week. This match comes up after Indi confronted her last week wanting a title shot. Before Becky could leave, Xia Li confronted her, asking for her shot. Things went interesting after Jade Cargill made her Raw debut to go face-to-face with The Man.

“Nice title,” Cargill offered toward Lynch while going through her debut hype tour on WWE programming. “Get in line,” was the short response from the reigning champion. Cargill laughed to herself and said to Pearce, the new general manager of Monday Night Raw, “She’s funny.” The GM then welcomed her to Raw and noted that she should be using a red boa instead of a blue boa. It’s been reported in the past that Cargill will eventually be a Raw superstar but there’s no confirmed update on WWE’s part.
Last week on WWE Raw, Tegan Nox got an opportunity to face Becky Lynch for the NXT Women’s Championship after a long wait. The youngster has come up short after putting up some valiant efforts. The champion successfully retained the title after making her opponent tap out to the Dis-Arm-Her submission maneuver.
Becky Lynch won the NXT Women’s Championship in early September in a regular episode of NXT by defeating Tiffany Stratton. Then at the NXT No Mercy premium live event, she retained in an Extreme Rules Match and suffered a lacerated arm which required 11 stitches to get fully healed. Despite the setback, she was quickly back in action on last week’s Raw.
